One is undervalued and one is overlooked. Can these two strangers, drawn together by an undeniable force, be exactly what the other needs to find love? Full Description Two strangers meet by chance in a New York City bar and are instantly enthralled with one another. The attraction between them cannot be contained; yet despite spending a memorable night together, they part still as strangers the next morning. Love had burned Lana twice before in her life: once by a man who should never have wanted to hurt her, and once by a boy she never should have let hurt her. Although she was a gifted student who became a talented doctor, Lana has never found her place in the world, living a solitary and somewhat lonely life. Liam had never been bothered by love before, preferring to keep his relationships at a two-month minimum in order to avoid any unnecessary drama. Always the party boy, even to his family, he has struggled to be taken seriously since childhood. Even when he is surrounded by people, though, Liam has an emptiness he can't seem to fill. When Lana and Liam meet as strangers, they have no idea that ties that already tether them to each other. Will they be strong enough to bring them back together? And if so, can these same ties hold the couple together, as fate tries to tear them apart?

Raceless
A Bustle Most Anticipated Debut of the Year From The Guardian’s Georgina Lawton, a moving examination of how racial identity is constructed—through the author’s own journey grappling with secrets and stereotypes, having been raised by white parents with no explanation as to why she looked black. Raised in sleepy English suburbia, Georgina Lawton was no stranger to homogeneity. Her parents were white; her friends were white; there was no reason for her to think she was any different. But over time her brown skin and dark, kinky hair frequently made her a target of prejudice. In Georgina’s insistently color-blind household, with no acknowledgement of her difference or access to black culture, she lacked the coordinates to make sense of who she was. It was only after her father’s death that Georgina began to unravel the truth about her parentage—and the racial identity that she had been denied. She fled from England and the turmoil of her home-life to live in black communities around the globe—the US, the UK, Nicaragua, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, and Morocco—and to explore her identity and what it meant to live in and navigate the world as a black woman. She spoke with psychologists, sociologists, experts in genetic testing, and other individuals whose experiences of racial identity have been fraught or questioned in the hopes of understanding how, exactly, we identify ourselves. Raceless is an exploration of a fundamental question: what constitutes our sense of self? Drawing on her personal experiences and the stories of others, Lawton grapples with difficult questions about love, shame, grief, and prejudice, and reveals the nuanced and emotional journey of forming one’s identity.
